Where Research Meets Practical Knowledge
Abrasives play a crucial role in surface preparation, coating, and cleaning. From metallic and nonmetallic options to slag, agricultural, and specialty abrasives, each type offers unique benefits. Proper selection, cleanliness…
Cathodic Protection (CP) is a widely used technique to prevent corrosion in buried or submerged steel structures such as pipelines, storage tanks, offshore platforms, and marine vessels. By making the…
Introduction Gas and liquid dehydration, along with hydrate inhibition systems, are critical for ensuring hydrocarbon streams meet downstream processing and quality requirements. Without these systems, facilities such as gas plants,…
Dust on steel surfaces can weaken paint adhesion and cause corrosion, especially on flat surfaces, pipe interiors, or structural cavities. The ISO 8502-3:2017 standard provides a simple method to check…
Before painting steel, you need to ensure the surface is clean to make the paint stick well and last long. Water-soluble salts, like chlorides, can cause rust, blisters, or peeling…
Abrasives are critical in abrasive blast cleaning, a process used to prepare surfaces for coating or painting. However, oil contamination in abrasives can compromise the quality of the cleaned surface,…
Offshore jacket structures, the steel frameworks anchoring oil and gas platforms to the seabed, rely on critical components like J-tubes and risers to ensure operational efficiency and connectivity between subsea…
The blotter test, rooted in the ASTM D4285-83 standard, is a quick, reliable way to check for oil or water contamination in compressed air. Whether you’re preparing surfaces for abrasive…
Industrial paint coatings protect metal surfaces from rust, wear, and contamination in tough environments like factories, pipelines, or power plants. However, tiny flaws in these coatings, such as cracks, holes,…
Introduction The holiday season transforms our surroundings with dazzling lights and colorful decorations. Yet, beneath the festive paint adorning structures like market stalls, amusement rides, or public sculptures lies a…
